Kicking it to the curb


My resolve was to make LOTS OF UPWARD PROGRESS this year and I have not disappointed myself yet. We are on the second month of the new year and I've successfully gotten back into painting, created a whole new art identity that garners more sales and totally re-strategized my art career. And did I mention I got a raise aside from giving myself a raise in my studio? I have sold out of new originals the same day I post them- repeatedly!

How does one do that? You start telling yourself you are worth it. YOU ARE WORTH IT. And you start clearing away all the things that tell you otherwise. You start making time for your work and your business, you start being focused about what you are trying to achieve every day. When you log into social media you have a purpose and a plan. You make your work strong and you show up and show up REAL. 

You make hard choices and yep - sometimes you gotta cut the fat and write the goodbye notes. You are looking out for your best interests and your life and well being. You are worth it. Start from there and believe it. Big changes start happening in your world. See where you are wasting your time and what's not yielding results and find the solution. And above all else always express gratitude

Because while creating your work felt like a solo drive in no man's land- it is your supporters and public and friends and family who keep you going. Day after day.
Big thanks to all of you daily! And if you enjoy my content and want to keep up with more upward moves and tips to get out of the rut- get on my mailing list by sending your email address to me. ♥️ I never spam! Have a great day and remember- YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...
